We used to silently truncate the size returned by stat() to 32 bits.
While it is possible to make binutils handle a 64-bit off_t on a
32-bit host, to me the effort needed doesn't seem worth the benefit.
Instead, error if we truncate the size. I've written the test the way
I have to avoid a signed/unsigned warning.

Replace the manually managed array with a vector. It is mostly
straightforward, except maybe one thing in execute_stack_op, in the
handling of DW_OP_fbreg. When the code stumbles on that opcode while
evaluating an expression, it needs to evaluate a subexpression to find
where the fb reg has been saved. Rather than creating a new context, it
reuses the current context. It saves the size of the stack before and
restores the stack to that size after.
I think we can do a little bit better by saving the current stack
locally and installing a new empty stack. This way, if the
subexpression is malformed and underflows, we'll get an exception.
Before, it would have overwritten the top elements of the top-level
expression. The evaluation of the top-level expression would have then
resumed with the same stack size, but possibly some corrupted elements.

The problem is simply that GDB is finding a symbol named "mult" from
glibc's debug info:

This patch replaces the usage of VEC to store pointers to probe_ops with

Change collect_probes so it returns an std::vector<bound_probe> instead
of a VEC(bound_probe_s). This allows removing some cleanups. It also
seems like enable_probes_command and disable_probes_command were not
freeing that vector.
The comparison function compare_probes needs to be updated to return a
bool indicating whether the first parameter is "less than" the second
parameter.
I defined two constructors to bound_probe. The default constructor is
needed, for example, so the instance in struct bp_location can be
constructed without parameters. The constructor with parameters is
useful so we can use emplace_back and pass the values directly.
The s390 builder on the buildbot shows a weird failure that I can't
explain:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/elfread.c: In function void probe_key_free(bfd*, void*):

This patch changes one usage of VEC to std::vector. It is a relatively

This renames a few functions -- skip_spaces_const,
skip_to_space_const, get_number_const, extract_arg_const -- to drop
the "_const" suffix and instead rely on overloading.
This makes future const fixes simpler by reducing the number of lines
that must be changed. I think it is also not any less clear, as all
these functions have the same interface as their non-const versions by
design. Furthermore there's an example of using an overload in-tree
already, namely check_for_argument.
This patch was largely created using some perl one-liners; then a few
fixes were applied by hand.

In function ‘void* memset(void*, int, size_t)’,
inlined from ‘regcache* get_thread_regcache(thread_info*, int)’ at ../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbserver/regcache.c:57:60:
/usr/include/aarch64-linux-gnu/bits/string3.h:81:32: error: call to ‘__warn_memset_zero_len’ declared with attribute warning: memset used with constant zero length parameter; this could be due to transposed parameters [-Werror]
__warn_memset_zero_len ();
This is likely due to a GCC bug, because for some reason the compiler
assumes that the third argument to the memset:
memset (regcache->register_status, REG_UNAVAILABLE,
VEC_length (tdesc_reg_p, regcache->tdesc->reg_defs));
is always zero, which is not always true.
Anyway, the simple fix for this is to guard the memset calls with:
if (!VEC_empty (tdesc_reg_p, regcache->tdesc->reg_defs))
This time, I made sure to regtest only this patch on BuildBot, and it
finally solved the breakage.

* regcache.c (get_thread_regcache): Guard calls to "memset"
with "!VEC_empty".
This patch fixes the build breakage that has been happening on AArch64
since September 5th. The breakage was introduced by the following

commit f7000548a2
Use VEC for target_desc.reg_defs
The build log for this commit can be seen here:
<https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/Ubuntu-AArch64-native-gdbserver-m64/builds/2696/steps/compile%20gdb/logs/stdio>
And the underlying problem is that the code is not calling the new
function "allocate_target_description" to allocate the "struct
target_desc" using "new" instead of XNEW, which end up not properly
initializing the fields of the structure.
Regtested on BuildBot.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2017-09-10 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Use
"allocate_target_description" instead of "XNEW".
* linux-x86-low.c (initialize_low_arch): Likewise.
Recent changes made gdb_stderr a macro:
#define gdb_stderr (*current_ui_gdb_stderr_ptr ())
and current_ui_gdb_stderr_ptr return this:
¤t_ui->m_gdb_stderr
The problem is that this is undefined if current_ui is NULL, which can
happen early on during gdb start up.
If we run into an error during early gdb start up then we write the
error message to gdb_stderr. However, if we are too early during the
start up then current_ui is NULL, and using the gdb_stderr macro
triggers undefined behaviour.
We try to avoid this using a check 'gdb_stderr == NULL' which was fine
before the recent changes, but now, still triggers undefined behaviour.
A better check is instead 'current_ui == NULL' which is what I use in
this patch.
Triggering this failure is pretty hard, most of the really early errors
are only triggered if pretty basic things are not as expected, for
example, if the default signal handlers are not as expected. Seeing one
of these errors trigger usually means that someone working on gdb has
made an incorrect change. Still, the errors are present in gdb, and
should we ever trigger one it would be nice if gdb didn't crash.
For testing this change I've been applying this patch which adds an
unconditional error into a function called early during gdb start up.
Later in the same function is a real error call which, in some
circumstances could be triggered:

gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (abort_with_message): Don't compare gdb_stderr to NULL,
check current_ui instead.
(internal_vproblem): Likewise.
There are two calls to uiout->is_mi_like_p in the else branch of a
if (uiout->is_mi_like_p ()), we already know they will return false.
A bit lower, there are two if (!uiout->is_mi_like_p ()) that we can
merge.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* thread.c (print_thread_info_1): Remove unnecessary calls to
uiout->is_mi_like_p.
This changes add_using_directive to accept a std::vector and then
changes the callers. This allows removing a cleanup.
